With GCC plugins enabled, external module builds can record -fplugin=... paths in DWARF producer metadata via -grecord-gcc-switches, leaking host/build specific paths and triggering QA checks.
Handle this in scripts/Makefile.gcc-plugins for KBUILD_EXTMOD builds by adding -gno-record-gcc-switches to plugin cflags. This keeps plugin behavior unchanged while avoiding absolute plugin path leakage in external module debug metadata.
